Chapter 51 Daily Life in Qinjiagou
Qin Chi chose to go back to Qinjiagou today, not only because he wanted to avoid necessary social engagements, but also because he was thinking about the storm he might face when he returned home.
When he was ten years old, the headmaster sent Qin Chi to prison.
Qin Chi was very happy at first, and he went home excitedly to tell Li about it. However, he did not expect that what he received was Li's support, but unprecedented opposition.
The opposition became more and more intense.
Qin Chi understood Li's thoughts.
I don't want Qin Chi to leave the stable life here, and I don't want him to step into the treacherous court. I just hope he can live in peace.
In the carriage.
Song Jin felt the bumps of the carriage and Qin Chi beside him.
Qin Chi's emotions were very stable, and his expression remained calm, but Song Jin could sense something was wrong, as well as a hint of gloom hanging over his heart.
Song Jin guessed that it might be related to the county examination.
In such a quiet atmosphere, the young couple returned to Qinjiagou.
This time I came back in the afternoon.
Boss Qin and others were either in the fields or in the medicinal garden.
There were a few women and young children in the house.
Qin Daya and Xiao Liu went up the mountain to collect firewood. Lin and Song Xiu did housework at home and took care of the three youngest children. Erlang and Sanlang went to the private school and had not yet finished school.
Li was in the embroidery room that Boss Qin specially set up for her.
Only old Liu did nothing.
I went to the village to chat with some old sisters.
When Song Jin got off the carriage and walked into the yard carrying his things, he saw Song Xiu cutting pork food again.
Song Xiu raised her eyelids and glanced at her.
He snorted coldly and continued cutting pork food.
He just cut very hard, as if to vent his anger.
Song Jin pretended not to see it.
"Sister-in-law, Tangtang..."
Erya, who was playing in the yard, was moving towards Song Jin step by step.
The other twins had already excitedly rushed out of the door, pounced on Qin Chi and hugged his thighs tightly.
Qin Chi paid the driver the money first.
Then he bent down, picked up the two children, and weighed them with his arms.
"Have Silang and Wulang been eating well recently?" Qin Chi always felt that these two little guys were a little heavier.
The two little guys were held in the air and were giggling with joy.
At this moment, Lin heard the noise and came out.
"Da Lang's wife is back."
Song Jinzheng stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into Erya's hand. "Yes, I just came back. Third Aunt, how is your family these days?"
"All right, all good."
Lin walked out of the courtyard gate.
Seeing boxes and cages placed on the ground, he helped move them in.
Lin saw a lot of things and asked, "Da Lang, are you planning to stay at the main house this time?"
"The county exam has started this year and the academy is on holiday, so my wife and I came back to stay for a few more days." Qin Chi made up an excuse.
Lin understood as soon as he heard it.
The college is on holiday at this time every year.
When Qin Chi saw that his third aunt was so calm, he realized that his family didn't know about the county exam yet.
Song Jin carried the things back to the house.
Mi Li had already taken off her clothes and came out to help, then she ran into Lin carrying two boxes in, and Qin Chi following behind, holding only a pair of twins.
"Madam, do you have any mung bean cakes left? Bring one pack to Auntie San."
Qin Chi is a very good person and rarely lets those who help him suffer losses.
Song Jin responded with a smile, went back and took out a bag of cakes, and gave a piece of mung bean cake to Silang and Wulang respectively.
Song Xiu glanced at Song Jin from time to time.
To be more precise, it was something in Song Jin's hand.
In the past, Song Xiu would not have taken a few pieces of cake seriously, but the problem was that she had been trapped in Qinjiagou for so long and had never eaten any snacks, and every time Song Jin came back, there was no share for her.
Song Xiu angrily threw the knife into the pig food bowl, "Song Jin, I have something to tell you."
Such a big reaction.
Everyone looked at her.
However, Qin Chi put the twins down, went into the house and got another bag of cakes to meet Li.
Lin took the cakes and went back to her room happily.
Who did she like the most in this family? It was the young couple Dalang.
Lin had a hard life before she got married.
Lin's parents favored sons over daughters and were well-known in the area for being harsh on their daughter. Lin had eaten very few snacks since she was a child, let alone received gifts from anyone, but since Dalang's wife came into the family, she had received gifts several times.
As for Song embroidery.
Lin doesn't like this person very much.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Lin felt that Song Xiu was a little crazy, so she wanted to stay away from her if possible.
At this time, Song Xiu had already come to Song Jin.
I looked around and found that there were only three little ones eating cakes at the door.
Song Xiu then scolded him with a bad face: "You are out in the open all day long, do you want to kill me? If you want to die, then die, but don't drag me down with you."
Song Jin didn't want to pay attention to Song Xiu.
Song Jin would be in a bad mood when staying with Song Xiu.
Song Xiu accused again: "Have you forgotten that we got married secretly? If we run into someone we know and find out that we are not dead, and then provoke the officials, I will never forgive you, Song Jin."
Song Jin understood now.
Song Xiu was worried that she would be recognized outside and indirectly implicate herself.
Song Jin said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble."
There used to be this concern.
Ever since he learned that there was something unusual about the Song family's case, Song Jin no longer thought so.
Song Xiu said angrily, "If you say you won't do it, then I won't do it. You are not allowed to go to the county town in the future. Stay in Qinjiagou obediently and wait for a few years until the limelight has passed."
"Don't mind my business."
When Song Jin saw Song Xiu's expression, he suddenly understood, "And your jealous expression is really ugly."
At first, Song Jin really thought Song Xiu was worried about something happening.
When Song Jin saw the jealousy in Song Xiu's eyes, she understood that Song Xiu simply didn't want her to live a good life.
In Song Xiu's mind, living in the county town means enjoying life.
Song Jin glanced at Song Xiu coldly, then turned and walked into the house.
Song Xiu was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed Song Jin over and over again in her heart.
Why should she stay in the Qin family and live a hard life? Song Jin can live in the county town. I thought that Song Jin gave old man Qin some money last time, so I don't have to work.
Who knew that Mrs. Liu would only be quiet for two days before she was asked to work again.
If you don’t work, you won’t eat!
Song Jin went to seek justice from Old Man Qin, but he just scolded Old Mrs. Liu a few words and that was the end of the matter.
This made Song Xiu very angry.
If Song Xiu had not experienced even harder times in her previous life, she would have quit her job long ago.
However, Song Xiu couldn't bear to see Song Jin having an easy life, but she didn't dare to plot against her again.
Song Xiu still remembered Song Jin's threat last time very clearly.
"Ms. Song, the pork chop hasn't been cut yet, what are you doing standing there?" Old Mrs. Liu came back from outside and got angry when she saw Song Xiu standing there without doing any work.
When Song Xiu heard this, she rolled her eyes secretly.
But I still went back reluctantly to continue chopping pork dishes.
After chopping it vigorously for a few times, Song Xiu's eyes rolled, "Mother-in-law, my sister and Dalang just came back with a lot of things. They gave Third Sister-in-law a bag of cakes when they came back."
There was a greedy gleam in Old Liu's eyes.
Then he looked at the three younger ones, who were still eating mung bean cakes.
But soon, Mrs. Liu’s face turned stern again, “Come back if you want. Even if there are good things, it won’t be the turn of an old man like me.”
"I said mother-in-law..."
